In this raw and deeply personal episode of Unfiltered, Krystal Perkins sits down with two decorated veterans to dismantle the traditional narrative of military life and veteran care.

As of early 2026, Australian veterans face significantly higher risks of suicide, homelessness, and PTSD compared to the general population.

Cate McGregor and Harry Moffitt move beyond these statistics to discuss the "unfiltered truth" of transitioning from elite service to civilian life. The conversation explores the fragmentation of the veteran support sector, the psychological impact of "always-on" global conflict, and the importance of maintaining an identity outside of the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
